Welcome to Great Music at Saint James

INTERNATIONAL LAUREATES ORGAN SERIES

For the past twenty-three years we have been honored to host many of the most distinguished organists from throughout the world. This season we welcome American organists Malcolm Matthews, Joshua Stafford, Isabelle Demers and Alcee Chriss, as well as French organist Jean-Baptiste Robin and Spanish organist Raúl Prieto-Ramírez.

We invite you to experience great organ music played on the David John Falconer Memorial Organ (originally built in 1911 for St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral, Los Angeles, by Murray M. Harris). Comprising over 5,000 pipes in total, the organ is an important part of Los Angeles musical history and takes its place among the country’s most important and magnificent instruments.

These recitals are offered as a gift to the community free of charge, and we are grateful to the Ahmanson Foundation and our Friends of Great Music for their continuing support.

SOLEMN EVENSONG

The semi-professional Choir of Saint James distinguished itself in 1996 as the first American Choir to have sung in performance with the Choir of Westminster Abbey, London. They have since completed four tours of the British Isles and are pleased to offer the Los Angeles community the uniquely Anglican service of Evensong in the style of the great English Cathedrals on the second Sunday of the month at 4:30 PM. Freewill offering.

ADVENT PROCESSION OF LESSONS AND CAROLS

Patterned after the ever-popular service of Nine Lessons and Carols originating from King’s College, Cambridge, England, the Choir of Saint James offers this service in anticipation of Christmas on 8 December 2019. Freewill offering.

Beginning in 1948 at Exposition Park and presented for the past 29 years at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, LACMA Sundays Live now takes up residence at St. James in-the-City! Chamber, orchestral, choral and solo artists from Southern California and around the globe will continue their free concert offerings at 6:00 pm. Together, our International Laureates Organ Series and LACMA Sundays Live will make every Sunday at St. James in-the-City an inspirational concert destination at 6:00 pm. LACMA Sundays Live is made possible by the Colburn Foundation in memory of Ed Elelman,and the Sidney Stern Memorial Trust. For live streaming, please visit sundayslive.org, and for weekly downloads, visit kusc.org and click on Radio/On Demand.
